Casa de Mauricio y Isaac

These are some of the photos that I took at Mauricio and Isaac's home last weekend when we went back to visit their family again. Their house has a really nice view of downtown San Pedro Sula in the first photo. The second photo is of me with Mauricio and Isaac along with their youngest brother, Jovan, and their sister, Jaimy, who is between them in age. Neither of their siblings have HIV. You can see that Isaac's 6 year old brother is taller than he is at age 10, and their 11 year old sister is taller than Mauricio at age 13. HIV really stunts the growth of these children. The third photo includes several of their younger uncles and aunts.








The first photo below is Isaac and Mauricio with their uncle Victor in front of the casa. The second photo is the oldest sister of Isaac and Mauricio, Claudia, who is 16. The third photo is of their uncle Daniel (22) who goes to school in Tegucigalpa studying to get his degree to be a social worker to help poor and needy children. He is really impressive to have such a great desire to help others at such a young age.

The first photo below is Isaac and Victor with their house in the background. We were up the hill behind their house picking limes and sugar cane. They also have bananna trees there too. The next photo is their youngest uncle, Jonathan (11) with one of their cousins.
